A prized horse is missing and private investigator Jane “CK” Monterrey is on the case. CK hasn’t had a big case in six months, when a millionaire plummeted to his death from her roof, so she certainly needs some action. Her new client is Shanel Richards, the sassy-mouthed part owner of the J&R Ranch, who hires CK to locate Abacus Starling, an expensive race horse.
